David Beckham Biography – Manchester United - When he was just 19 years of age, Beckham was still not a first team regular for Manchester, so in the 1994/95 season he was loaned to Preston North End, where he would get some useful match experience before returning to United the next season.
The end of the 1994/95 season saw several key components of the Manchester United first squad leaving the team or retiring and Sir Alex Ferguson, the team's manager decided to base his strategy for the next season on youngsters instead of buying expensive replacements. This was a great chance for David Beckham and he took it with both hands as he would become a first team regular from now on.
Constantly rising in form and playing better and better for Manchester helped David Beckham reach the England squad for the 1998 World Cup, however this would be one of the toughest moments in Beckham's career.
